The Australian Government is establishing a program to support NDIS providers in meeting their quality and safeguarding responsibilities.
In the 2018-2019 Budget, the Australian Government invested $17.6 million over four years in a new National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Support for NDIS Providers Program. The Program will fund the development and delivery of tools and resources that will be available to all NDIS providers. These large-scale projects will focus on supporting providers to meet their responsibilities to provide safe and quality services to NDIS participants.
1. An open, competitive grants process targeting large-scale projects that will benefit all providers.
2. The other two grants opportunities are closed. Two organisations have been invited directly to apply for these targeted grants: Allied Health Professions Australia to provide tools and resources to assist allied health practitioners and business in meeting the new quality and safeguarding arrangements, and the NSW and SA Councils for Intellectual Disability to support people with intellectual disability to be aware of and engage with the new NDIS Code and Practice standards. The availability of these targeted grants is contingent on submission of a satisfactory proposal by 29 April 2019.
Applications for the 2018-19 grant opportunity open nationally on 19 March 2019 and close on 29 April 2019.
Information on eligibility criteria, grant guidelines, and how to apply is available on the GrantConnect website.

By Grace Alone: Proclaim for Digital Signage?
Has anyone had any success in using Proclaim as a platform for digital signage? We have a lobby display that runs an image loop all week of our preservice slides. Would running Proclaim on an HDMI-stick computer be feasible? That way content can be set up remotely and scaled properly to the screen.
Thanks for any input you've got.


the zygote jailbreak, zimperlich, available here.
Its straight forward code just like the adb setuid() one.
calling setuid() once more when we are already running.
Keeping in mind that I dont like Java.
is guaranteed to be invoked as a new process.
or cared that a different setuid() bug was actually exploited.

Using "type" as an alias for result of the operation will allow some nice tricks with std::conditional and std::integral_constant.
1. As long as TM uses a finite alphabet, we can map all possible symbols to ints as use them as contents of the tape without loss of generality. Let's assume that Blank symbol is represented by -1.
Concatenation is pretty straightforward and easy.
Writing a symbol is the hardest part here. Writing can be viewed as breaking the tape into three parts: head, symbol and tail, replacing the symbol with a new symbol and concatenating everything back. To perform such an operation we need a way to retrieve a head and a tail.
To get n last symbols we shorten the tape by removing the first symbol until it's length equals n. And to get first n symbols we revert the tape, take n last symbols and revert it back. Usage examples: https://ideone.com/igYF3W You can use the fork button to modify the code, check other inputs and better understand what is going on.
At this moment we have a way to store the tape and to read and write arbitrary symbols. The next step is to move things.
3. Our TM will support three moving operations: Hold, Left and Right. Each of them must calculate two things: a new position and a new tape, given the current tape and position. If we are in position 0 and we want to move left, the tape must be expanded, same for moving right when we reach the tail. The default symbol will be Blank.
Here a cool C++ feature is used called alias template. "move" and "next" fields of A<0> are not just types, they are class templates, which will be directly used by TM for the calculation of the next step. To make adding new states and transition rules easy we can use preprocessor macros. A state used to indicate that simulation should is called Stop.
5. Now we are going to create a Machine class that will hold the whole system. Machine will be parameterized by current state, position and tape with symbols. The only thing we want Machine to do is to make a simulation step by calculating it's next state.
At first we read the tape at current position and save the result as "symbol". After that we instantiate a State template, which will give us a transition rule. Next state given by the following expression.
Note the "template" keyword prior to "next<x>". According to the standard, the member template name must be prefixed by the keyword "template" when used after "::".
To calculate the next version of the tape, we need to write a new symbol ("using modifiedTape =") and extend the tape if necessary ("using nextTape ="). Getting the new position is pretty obvious.
Finally, when everything is set up we can return the next state of the system as step. At this point we can actually program our TM and watch how it moves by adding a few dump functions: https://ideone.com/XuBDry In this example we can see how our machine actually moves right and replaces symbols with other symbols.
6. It seems like everything is working, but we need to go deeper: an input to the computation is an initial state, position and tape, and the output should be a modified tape when the machine reaches "Stop" state.
To check if the machine should stop, we instantiate it's current state and the Stop state with 0 as a parameter and compare resulting types with std::is_same. If they are equal, current tape is returned as a result, otherwise another step is performed.
But what if we want to make several increments? No problem, let's wrap the whole operation into a class.
https://ideone.com/zPyu6B Well, it definitely looks like a binary increment to me.


(1) Is there any way to make the text smaller or choose an alternative font?
(2) Can I edit the text in "Start quiz"-button? And write ie. "Start test" instead?
If there is a workaround ie. editing the outputted html/js-files -- and how/where -- please let me know.
1) Yes, you can do this if you go to Slide Show editor.
2) Yes, you can change the text of this (and many others) button and messages if you go to Player -> Text Labels.

The Ohio State University at Newark provides access to the university by extending Ohio State courses, programs, research and service to many Ohio communities.
Faculty members at Ohio State Newark are involved in research and many work closely with students on their research projects. Twenty-three students participated in the 2017 Student Research Forum, submitting proposed and completed research as well as poster presentations. The forum aims to increase collaborative, student-faculty research endeavors at the Newark Campus, to encourage participation in honors research, and to further the goals of the OSU Denman Undergraduate Research Forum and the OSU Undergraduate Research Office at the Newark Campus.
The Ohio State University Newark is a doorway to over 200 majors in an environment that has produced leaders in nearly every industry sector.
Ohio State Newark offers general studies coursework applicable to all undergraduate degree programs at The Ohio State University. In addition, upper-division courses in several departments are offered. Entire degree programs may be completed at Ohio State Newark in the following areas: Early/Middle Childhood Education (B.S.Ed.), General Business (B.S.B.A.), English (B.A.), History (B.A.), Psychology (B.A. or B.S.), and Social Work (B.S.S.W.). A Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning and a Master of Social Work are also available.
By 1960, 46 scholarships worth $12,000 were awarded to students. In 1966, seven thousand Licking County residents pledged over $1 million toward the cost of land and construction of the first campus building. In 2010, local philanthropists J. Gilbert and Louella Reese challenged the community by matching all gifts up to $10 million; by the campaign's conclusion in 2012, nearly $21 million had been raised for the Next Generation Challenge, which provides scholarships.
A true community effort, Ohio State Newark was founded in 1957. Community members gathered to paint, build and carry furniture into a remodeled barn, the campuses' temporary first home. The first classes took place in the evenings at Newark High School with 80 students and eight faculty members Today, the campus features eleven buildings, including a recreation center and two residence halls.
At Central Ohio Technical College, students can earn one of 45 associate degrees or certificates, or gain skills needed for career advancement. Many students attend a two-year institution to gain hands-on, technical experience and begin working in the field, or to transfer those credits toward a bachelor's program. COTC offers a low faculty-to-student ratio that appeals to many students. Headcount enrollment at COTC (including extended campus locations) reached 3,530 in autumn of 2015.
To increase collaboration and cooperation among public colleges and universities, in August 2007 Ohio Governor Ted Strickland directed Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Eric Fingerhut to establish The University System of Ohio, which includes 14 public universities with 24 regional campuses, 23 community and technical colleges, and an adult workforce education and training network operating in more than 200 locations. With a mission to provide affordable, high quality higher education opportunities for all Ohioans, programs and curricula are designed to meet Ohioans' individual and collective needs for the 21st century. Governor Strickland also directed Chancellor Fingerhut to develop a 10-year plan for The University System of Ohio, which will set clear benchmarks and a timeline for advancing a collective system of higher education in the state.

Usher Says Two Herpes Accusers Are Liars In Countersuit
Gary Gershoff, Getty Images
Usher is fighting back against his two accusers who claim the singer exposed them to herpes without telling them. According to TMZ, the R&B singer has filed a countersuit against the two women stating that they are liars.
In the court documents, Usher denies ever having sexual contact with any of the women in question. One of the women, Quantasia Sharpton, held a news conference, claiming they had sex but she didn't contract the herpes virus.
Usher's attorneys, Laura Wasser and Zia Modabber, argue that the two plaintiffs don't have a legal case because anything the singer might have done was unintentional. So, if Usher did in fact have herpes, he didn't know it at the time. The singer also claims the plaintiffs have don't have proof that they did have sex with him.
This legal action comes after Sharpton claimed that she has a sex tape of her and Usher on the night they allegedly had sex. But her attorney, Lisa Bloom, said that it's not true. She said that it was a "misunderstanding," however, there might be surveillance footage of Usher and Sharpton together at the hotel.
Attorneys for Usher had no comment on the matter.

LONDON, 8th May 2017 – America stands to benefit significantly from continued membership of the Paris Agreement, says the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) – a unique coalition bringing together fossil fuels, power and industrial companies, alongside investors, NGOs and researchers.
Innovations and investments required to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement have the potential to drive industrial competitiveness, business opportunities and job creation in the U.S. Staying in the Paris Agreement would strengthen American companies that are leading the charge in electric vehicles, in energy storage, renewable power and grid optimization, in carbon capture, sequestration and utilization, in new construction materials, advanced manufacturing, smart infrastructure and more energy-efficient products and services. These are building blocks of a competitive future economy and they are fueled today by American innovation, entrepreneurship and capital.
Staying in the Paris Agreement would help to reinforce current national trends: the renewable energy sector in the U.S. already represents more than 3 million jobs, as part of the broader U.S. energy sector. Over the past five years, employment in the solar and wind industries in the U.S. grew 12 times faster than the overall economy. Staying in the Paris Agreement provides the best opportunity for American companies to scale at home and to shape the world's fast-growing, trillion dollars plus markets for low-carbon products and services. America's continued participation in the Paris Agreement will help keep other nations on track and ensure a truly global approach to addressing the challenge of climate change.
Key findings in the ETC's report Better Energy, Greater Prosperity show there are multiple pathways to seize the economic gains of the energy transition while limiting the rise of global temperatures to well below 2 ̊C. The Paris Agreement gives the U.S. the right to define (and revise) its domestic energy transition and climate mitigation pathway. The ETC is deeply convinced that America would be serving its own interest by remaining committed to the Paris Agreement and securing its role as a global leader in low-carbon energy systems.
The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) brings together a diverse group of individuals from the energy and climate communities: investors, incumbent energy companies, industry disruptors, equipment suppliers, energy-intensive industries, non-profit organizations, advisors, and academics from across the developed and developing world. Our aim is to accelerate change towards low-carbon energy systems that enable robust economic development and limit the rise in global temperature to well below 2 ̊C.
This press release has been authorized by the Chairs of the Energy Transitions Commission and has the broad support of Commissioners. The institutions with which the Commissioners are affiliated have not been asked to formally endorse the press release.

Río (en griego antiguo, Ῥίον/Rhíon, en griego moderno, Ρίο/Río, latín, Rhium) es una localidad de Grecia, situada al norte del Peloponeso, en el golfo de Corinto, en el extrarradio de Patras. Desde la reforma del gobierno local forma parte del municipio de Patras, de la cual es una pedanía o unidad municipal. En el año 2011 la unidad municipal de Río tenía 14034 habitantes mientras la población del núcleo urbano de Río ascendía a 4664.

Geografía e historia

La ciudad está ubicada a unos 7 km al norte de Patras y las une la carretera nacional GR-8. Está situado junto al cabo de su mismo nombre que ya era célebre en la Antigüedad, a la entrada del golfo de Corinto. El cabo que tenía enfrente, en la costa de Etolia se llamaba, por oposición, Antirrío o también Río de Etolia. Tucídides menciona que en Río de Acaya fue donde los peloponesios levantaron un trofeo, tras la batalla de Naupacto. El ateniense Alcibíades trató de levantar fortificaciones en Río años más tarde, en el 419 a. C., pero tropas de Corinto, Sición y otras ciudades que podían sentirse amenazadas por esas murallas se lo impidieron.

Su altitud en la parte baja es de 10 m y de 20 a 50 m en su parte este.

Infraestructuras

En Río se halla el segundo hospital de Patras. La Universidad de Patras es una de la más grandes de Grecia y también su campus. Próximo a ella está el puente de Río-Antírio.

In line with latest Government's guidelines on home moving, the housing market remains open, and all our offices in England, Scotland and Wales continue to operate. Health and safety remains our main priority, and we continue to follow a number of strict measures to protect our customers and staff. More information
Number of home owners under 45 drops by 850,000 in just six years
The Labour Party claims there has been a strikingly large reduction in the number of under-45s who own a home - down 858,000 in the past six years alone.
The revelation came in a fringe meeting previewing the Redfern Review, the Labour-inspired but independently-conducted review into the decline of home ownership; the report is expected to be released later this autumn.
At a fringe meeting at the Labour conference in Liverpool, former housing minister John Healey - who was one of the many Labour MPs to resign from Jeremy Corbyn's front bench in the so-called 'corridor coup' at the start of the summer - spoke of his party's commitment to home ownership.
"A million more households became home-owners under the last Labour government but home-ownership has plummeted under the Tories. I'll always fight for more council and public rented homes, but Labour's fight must also be to stop home-ownership becoming an option only for the rich," Healey told the meeting.
"It's why Jeremy Corbyn was right to take Theresa May to task on the Tories' terrible record in his first PMQs after the summer. Our Party's pro-ownership conviction wasn't invented by New Labour. For more than half a century it's been one of Labour's guiding aims to give people on ordinary incomes the opportunity to own a home," he went on.
"Today Labour must once more give young people on middle incomes the chance to own a home where the Tories have so badly failed."
Although Labour's official shadow housing spokesperson is Theresa Pearce, Healey is widely regarded as being one of the most authoritative experts on housing in the House of Commons.

aside	Fired FBI Acting Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's Commentary /Washington Post
It was only a week ago, the 16th of March 2018 when the republican President Donald Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired the 21 year veteran of the FBI, the Acting Deputy Director Andrew McCabe allegedly for his lack of candor during an Inspector General's review of the 2016 FBI's Clinton email/ foundation probe. He was fired in an unprecedented rushed process just 48 hours before he was set to retire with his pension benefits, intact. And this occurred after the president had used Mr. McCabe as a punching bag for perceived acts of disloyalty for over a year.
The irony of the above set of circumstances is that the AG Jeffrey Sessions is claiming that he was totally unaware of himself having been a party to a FBI investigation headed by Andrew McCabe, for a possible perjury charge. This was due to Mr. Sessions not admitting, when questioned, his contacts with Russian officials during a US Congressional hearing while he was under oath. Mr. Sessions had been permitted to amend his answers after it was proven that he wasn't entirely forthcoming, but it appears that he held Mr. McCabe to a much higher standard.
SESSIONS/ MCCABE
At the very least, Mr. Sessions was guilty of a "lack of candor," the very offense that Mr. McCabe was accused of committing.
Mr. McCabe denies the allegation about his lack of candor and I am inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially since his boss had been obligated to amend answers he provided under oath after he was shown proof about his lack of candor.
In addition, during his confirmation hearing before the US Senate Judiciary Committee, Mr. Sessions under oath had committed to Senator Chuck Grassley that he would recuse himself with having anything to do with the FBI's Clinton email/ foundation probe as well as the Trump-Russia inquiry.
Here is the story as explained by Mr. McCabe…
On March 23, 2018, Andrew McCabe for the Washington Post penned the following commentary, "Andrew McCabe: Not in my worst nightmares did I dream my FBI career would end this way"
On March 16, I spent the day with my family waiting to hear whether I would be fired, after 21 years in the FBI and one day before I qualified for my long-planned, earned retirement.
"As day turned to night, I had a lot of time to reflect on how it would feel to be separated from the organization I loved — and led — and the mission that has been the central focus of my professional life. Despite all the preparation for the worst-case scenario, I still felt disoriented and sick to my stomach. Around 10 p.m., a friend called to tell me that CNN was reporting that I had been fired. She read me the attorney general's statement."
"So, after two decades of public service, I found out that I had been fired in the most disembodied, impersonal way — third-hand, based on a news account. Shortly after getting word, I noticed an email from a Justice Department official in my work account, telling me that I had been "removed from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the civil service."
"I have been accused of "lack of candor." That is not true. I did not knowingly mislead or lie to investigators. When asked about contacts with a reporter that were fully within my power to authorize as deputy director, and amid the chaos that surrounded me, I answered questions as completely and accurately as I could. And when I realized that some of my answers were not fully accurate or may have been misunderstood, I took the initiative to correct them. At worst, I was not clear in my responses, and because of what was going on around me may well have been confused and distracted — and for that I take full responsibility. But that is not a lack of candor. And under no circumstances could it ever serve as the basis for the very public and extended humiliation of my family and me that the administration, and the president personally, have engaged in over the past year.
Not in my worst nightmares did I ever dream my FBI career would end this way.
The next day I woke to find the president of the United States celebrating my punishment: "Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI — A great day for Democracy." I was sad, but not surprised, to see that such unhinged public attacks on me would continue into my life after my service to the FBI. President Trump's cruelty reminded me of the days immediately following the firing of James B. Comey, as the White House desperately tried to push the falsehood that people in the FBI were celebrating the loss of our director. The president's comments about me were equally hurtful and false, which shows that he has no idea how FBI people feel about their leaders.
I was drawn to the FBI by nothing more complicated than a desire to do good. In 1994, I submitted a special-agent application, dreaming about what life as a criminal investigator would be like. I devoured every book I could find, and binged on news coverage of FBI investigations. When the day came for me to report to the FBI training academy at Quantico, Va., I embarked on the greatest professional adventure I could ever imagine.
Each year, more than 2,000 men and women of all races, colors and creeds are drawn to the FBI by the same professional and personal desire to do good. It is the DNA that we all share. As acting director, I frequently talked to FBI people about that shared DNA as the glue that bound us together and enabled us to stay mission-focused during the chaos that followed Comey's firing in May 2017. True to form, our agents, analysts and professional staff reacted as FBI people always do. They continued to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution despite the political winds — and the unprecedented attacks on us by the president and other partisans — that buffeted us.
The nation continues to need them. And not just the current employees of the FBI, but all smart, talented, dedicated people considering careers in the law enforcement and intelligence communities. These are hard jobs that demand sacrifice, often involve danger, and take a toll on families and personal lives. But they also offer the rare opportunity to enter into a sacred trust with the American people: to protect and defend them, honestly, justly and fairly. There is no greater responsibility, but there is no greater reward. We cannot afford for young people to be dissuaded from lives of public service by the divisive politics and partisan attacks that now so characterize our national discourse and that, I believe, played a major role in the end of my FBI career.
To those men and women, I say: Fear not. Set the headlines aside and give in to what draws you to this work. The country needs you.
There is nothing like having the opportunity to be a part of the greatest law-enforcement organization in the world, working every day for goals that you respect and cherish. It is the best job you will ever have. Even if a president decides to attack you and your family. Even if you get fired on a Friday night, one day from your retirement.

Yes, I saw that … someone wrote this a while ago … my sentiments exactly!!
"I feel something I didn't think I could any more, actual hate for this money grabbing , tantrum having, foot stamping moron who thinks of a very small minority of people over the vast population entrusted to him."
Danny Jang … arrgghh!!
Gronda, for someone to celebrate the firing of another person says an awful lot about the one celebrating and it is not a good rendering. Celebrating the punishment of someone's family by having the person fired after he has packed up his office to retire says even more about the one celebrating. It is not a person I would ever consider working for and if I inherited him as a boss, I would look elsewhere.
As for Jeff Sessions, he has shown his stripes again and again. He surprisingly loyal to a man who has and will run him over in a car. Sessions' career will not end well, likely being escorted out when his boss finds him expendable due to Mueller's finding or his boss' tempestuous decision-making. Keith
Frankly I think the weasel AG Jeff Sessions fired the FBI Acting Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to salvage his own job. He has just bought himself some additional time on the job.
But Mr. Sessions must know that his time is coming. Fortunately, he still has friends in the US Senate.
President Trump has just made a lot of enemies with FBI agents who normally favor republicans.


The 1980's insightful work of Richard Gardner, M.D. on Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) raised the public level of awareness and gave it a name.
Even then, alienation tactics were nothing new. As long as people have held grudges and been motivated by hatred while calling it "protecting the child," alienation has existed. When a parent dishonestly turns a child against the other parent through lies, bribery, manipulation, and other deceitful tactics, alienation exists. When a parent pressures and emotionally and psychologically batter a child to align with him or her and to turn against the other parent, not only is there a severe disruption in the parent-child relationship, but in its most severe form, the symptoms of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) are observed.
During the 1990s, PAS was contested as controversial, largely because of misunderstanding, but it continued to be brought to the attention of courts, psychological and legal communities. Although the most severe form, called PAS, is still debated among experts, parental alienation is commonly accepted and taught in mental health communities as a form of loyalty conflict.
Now we find ourselves in the second generation of parental alienation thinking. It is a productive period in which many professionals and parents are working together to make parental alienation more understandable, especially to those for whom it is still an unfamiliar term. We understand that it is not just one "bad" individual who maintains it, but a system in which everyone contributes to it, even at times, the targeted parent. Therefore, all these communities must work together with families to change it by creating a system that not only does not support it but one which does not allow it. In fact, there may need to be sanctions against alienators the way that there are consequences for child abusers and perpetrators of domestic violence.

EXCLUSIVE TRACK PREMIERE: Lacing | Summer.
Tennessee-based 4-piece Lacing first caught our attention last year, after releasing their majestically dense debut EP, Honey Glow. Equal parts narcotic sludge and '90s nostalgia, Lacing's sound packs a distortion-heavy punch that you won't soon forget.
"Summer" is the lead single from the band's forthcoming debut LP, Bummer. Their crunchy fusion of shoegaze, slowcore and noise pop is irresistible on this heavy groove. Despite the song's title, this isn't an easy-going, sunny tune for your morning jog on the beach (well, unless epic feedback makes you want to do cardio). If the intense riffs and shrieking feedback on "Summer" don't get your attention, the nuanced and atmospheric moments of great beauty certainly will. If this strong single is any indication, Bummer will be anything but.
Highly recommended for lovers of stonergaze, slowcore, sludgy pop, swirling noise, as well as to those who generally enjoy having their freakin' faces rocked off with controlled blasts of raw beauty.
Summer by Lacing
Bummer is slated for release in the coming weeks, but no firm date has been set, so keep your eyes and ears peeled. A forthcoming split with WTSH faves Lazy Legs (the perfect pairing, no?) is also on the docket for Lacing.
INTERVIEW: Iris of taffy.
This year's full-length from noisy Japanese guitar-pop quartet taffy is called Nyctophilia. The word means love of darkness, or of night. Many artists and musicians love the night and feel they do their best creative work in the wee hours. And for those of us deeply passionate about music, night life—as the context for so much of live music—is a setting for discovering exciting new sounds and for transcendent performances we'll never forget. So nyctophilia is a sentiment many WTSH readers can no doubt connect with, and Nyctophilia an album they'll very much appreciate.
The title of taffy's immediately preceding release offers a similar nocturnal allusion. The wonderful coined titular word for this 2015 EP, Darkle, immediately suggests the sparkle—or the allure—of the dark. It brings to mind things that sparkle in the dark, like stars, fireflies, and ordinary objects silvered into mystery by moonlight.
Such iridescence is amply present in the sparkling sound of Nyctophilia, one of the most exciting records of 2017 so far. The first track, "RunicWade," opens with complex rhythms, an intricate guitar ostinato, and a concisely angular bass pronouncement, elements that almost seem like they could be signaling the commencement of a prog epic. Then Iris's clear, simple vocal line begins, providing a perfect contrast to the complexity behind it, deftly taking command of the strange groove for purposes of pop. The defining combination that makes this album such an enjoyable and often surprising ride has been established: Iris's straightforward, inspired pop melodies, delivered with simple ease and grace, in partnership with the surging, luxurious, complex noise of the band's sound.
Taffy's history stretches back into 2011; the band played live in London in December of that year. Debut single "SO LONG"/"in the fields i lay" was released in February of 2012, followed by debut full-length Caramel Sunset in May. The following year saw the release of two singles and an LP called Lixiviate. A collection of B-sides and early material called taffy plus+++ came out in 2014, while 2015 brought us the Darkle EP, featuring a remix of "Young Tines" by The Brain Jonestown Massacre that we posted here. The project's label home has long been London's wonderful Club AC30, which has released material by a number of bands celebrated in this space including Flyying Colours, Pinkshinyultrablast, Ringo Deathstarr, and Exit Calm. The present lineup features Iris on vocal and guitar, Asano on lead guitar, Ken on Drums, and Takeshi on bass. The members prefer not to capitalize the band name, and we have followed suit here.
We're very excited to feature the following conversation with Iris, who, in addition to her vocal and guitar duties, writes all the songs for the project. Many thanks to manager Hiroaki Hayashi for arranging this interview.
▲▲▲ ▲▲▲
How and when was the band formed?
I gathered my friends who might be interested in playing the songs I write. Many people have come and gone and I can't quite remember when this journey began...
Can you tell us what the band has been working on and what you've got forthcoming in the near future (new releases, tour, etc.)?
We have just released our latest new album, Nyctophilia, and are now getting ready for the upcoming UK tour in July.
Do you consider your music to be part of the current shoegaze/dream pop scene, or any scene? Defining one's sound by genre can be tiresome, but do you feel that the band identifies closely with any genre? How do you feel about genres in music, in a general sense?
A lot of people call us shoegaze, grunge-gaze, dream pop, psychedelic pop, etc., but I don't really mind what genre we are called. I think it's all up to the listeners however they take it. We're only playing and making whatever sounds suit us at the moment, not intending to categorize anything, so…what comes out from us is the taffy sound. We have bits of this and that in our sound but the bottom line is, I like to put melodic song along with it.
In general, it might be better and easier to understand if your band can be categorized in a certain genre, but personally, I am proud that taffy can't quite be categorized because, in a way, it means that we are doing our original sound, the taffy sound.
As long as they have good melodies, melodic lines that make me want to sing, I like them. There are so many nice bands and music that're hard not to like.
"I'm sure everything I have listened to, even the noises and sounds of everyday life, have influenced my music."
Something to create distortion so that the sound is not too clear, but clear enough to flow. If there are any pedals for that and two guitars, a bass guitar, and a drum set, we can pretty much make the taffy sound.
There was this one time that we arrived at a venue in Manchester without any of our gear—I mean none, nothing!—and we borrowed everything mentioned above and still were able to do a show just like we always do. That was quite an experience, and taught that it's all about the people who make the band sound, not the instruments.

ALBUM REVIEW: Panda Riot | Infinity Maps.
Chicago's premier dream gazers have dropped their self-released album. With 18 tracks, it runs out to 50 minutes or so and is chock full of great tunes. The band contacted me about a month ago and asked me to review the album. I guess they liked the last review I concocted for their Saint Marie release, so there you have it. I would have gladly reviewed the album anyway, as it's a stellar piece of work. Engineered by guitarist and audiophile Brian Cook in the band's East Garfield Park studio, it gave Cook lots of time to obsessively construct complex and carefully conceived sonic layers, some of which sample other tracks on the album. He even built his own guitar pedals to create the perfect tone when things weren't working in his mind. The end result of a four year wait is this sonic marvel of an album. To say it surpasses their last record is an understatement. This release is dreamy headphone music that will send you soaring as its layers unfold and reveal themselves.
Infinity Maps by Panda Riot
Opening track "Aphelion" contains all the classic shoegaze hallmarks, including distorted guitar patterns, woozy veils of sound, and Rebecca Scott's cooing vocals. "Helios (June 20th)" is another classic burn down the house tune, with guitars reminding me a bit of Smashing Pumpkins on the main chorus. "Latitudes" is a short, spacey instrumental ambience, and it's a lovely interlude.
"Ghosting" is catchy as hell, with luminous vocal and guitar interplay. Simply wonderful! "Chimera" shimmers and shines like all the best shoegaze, and its mesmeric wall of sound will entrance even the most jaded listener. "Double Dream" is edgy and borders on post punk; the downcast tempo married with murky synthesizer works well. "Arrows" is bright, cheerful dream pop, and it morphs silkily into the piano driven, minimalist piece "Parachute". It's another melodic break from heavier material, and I find that I enjoy these interludes. It showcases another side to the band, and indicates a possible direction for future ventures. "Night Animation" is chiming and soft, heavenly at its heart and gauzy at its edges. It is floating in the clouds music. "Parallels" is a ridiculously pretty and trippy short break, revealing that psychedelia is also not far from the band's core sound.
The title track "Infinity Maps" is crunchy, swooning shoegaze that lasts little over a minute! I want more! Beautiful work. The instrumental "Niagara" is even shorter at 33 seconds and it will snare you instantly. "New Colors" is splendid ear candy, while "Aurora Shift" is a chilly synth pop break. The marvelously titled "Glass Cathedrals" is too short at 40 seconds, but thankfully it merges into the less ephemeral and solid "Gold Lines". It's another entrancing tune, with guitars that will dash away any foggy thoughts. "Otherside" dips into vintage dream pop a la Beach House, and then the record shuts down with 55 seconds of psychedelic noodling and sweet crooning from Rebecca on "Magic Numbers". It's a shorter record than I would have liked, and while I really enjoyed the shorter songs, I could have also used longer, more substantive tunes. The group has done a fine job with this record, and it's sure to please old fans and new fans just exploring the shoegaze and dream pop genres. Well done!

U.S. prosecutors target Assange
WikiLeaks' Julian Assange.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange speaks on the balcony of the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, Friday, Feb. 5, 2016. A U.N. human rights panel says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been squirreled away inside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid questioning by Swedish authorities about sexual misconduct allegations, has been "arbitrarily detained" by Britain and Sweden since December 2010. The U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention said his detention should end and he should be entitled to compensation. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)
By Boston Herald |
PUBLISHED: April 21, 2017 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: November 17, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
WASHINGTON — U.S. prosecutors are preparing or closely considering charges against the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks and founder Julian Assange for revealing sensitive government secrets, according to media reports.
CNN reported authorities are preparing to seek Assange's arrest.
The Washington Post reported prosecutors are weighing charges against the organization's members after the Obama-era Justice Department declined to do so.
Democrats have accused the group of acting for Russian intelligence in releasing embarrassing emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Possible charges include conspiracy, theft of government property and violating the Espionage Act, the newspaper said, though any charges would need approval from high-ranking officials in the Justice Department.
The move comes after WikiLeaks last month released nearly 8,000 documents that it says reveal secrets about the CIA's cyber-espionage tools for breaking into computers, cellphones and even smart TVs.
It previously published 250,000 State Department cables and embarrassed the U.S. military with hundreds of thousands of logs from Iraq and Afghanistan.
CIA Director Mike Pompeo last week denounced the group as a "hostile intelligence service" and a threat to U.S. national security.
And Attorney General Jeff Sessions told reporters yesterday that Assange's arrest is a priority as the Justice Department steps up efforts to prosecute people who leak classified information to the media.
"We've already begun to step up our efforts and whenever a case can be made, we will seek to put some people in jail," Sessions said.
Their condemnation of WikiLeaks differed sharply from President Trump's past praise. Before last year's election, Trump said he was happy to see WikiLeaks publish the emails from Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta. Trump condemned the release of CIA tactics, which the White House noted involved information about secretive national security tools.

Find out about the main festivals and events taking place in Copenhagen throughout the year...
Copenhagen has a full calendar of festivals throughout the year, including religious festivals, music festivals and a number of international trade shows. Below is information about the principal events on the annual calendar, with a description of events and links to their websites where available.
Traditional Festivals in Copenhagen
Epiphany: The evening of 5 January is often celebrated with a candle-lit procession to mark the end of Christmas.
Shrovetide (February or March): Forty days before Easter, Shrovetide sees children dressing up and going door-to-door singing and collecting money. Homes may be decorated with Shrovetide rods, which are birch branches decorated with sweets and presents. These were originally considered fertility symbols, the branch representing the budding spring. Another Shrovetide tradition is for children to hit a suspended barrel full of sweets with clubs (known as tilting at the cat in the barrel); the child who knocks a hole in the barrel is chosen as the King or Queen of Cats.
Walpurgis Night - Valborgsnat (30 April): Named after the English saint, Walburga, who was believed to protect against magic and witchcraft, this festival celebrates the arrival of summer with the lighting of bonfires and maypole-dancing.
Great Prayer Day - Store Bededag (April/May): Danish festival taking place on the fourth Friday after Easter Sunday. It is celebrated by eating hot wheat buns, and walking around the harbour Langelinie, on the ramparts around Christianshavn or in Kastellet (The Citadel), where the student choir sings.
Liberation Day (5 May): After five years of German occupation during the Second World War, Denmark became free again on 5 May 1945. When the liberation was announced on the evening of 4 May, many people spontaneously placed lit candles in their windows, a custom which is still maintained.
Pentecost/Whitsun (May/June): Church festival celebrated to mark the advent of the Holy Spirit, and the awakening of nature at Whitsun. Pentecost falls 50 days after Easter, and since the mid-19th century, the custom is either to stay up after the festivities on Whit Saturday, or to get up early to see the sunrise and enjoy the morning sun. Whitsun is often celebrated by picnicking in the woods or other family outings. There is a Whitsun Carnival in Copenhagen, where costumed carnival groups dance through the city and gather in one of the city's parks.
St John's Eve (23 June): Celebration taking place on the evening before Midsummer Day, which is the birthday of John the Baptist. Despite the summer solstice being on 21 June, St John's Eve is regarded as the actual Midsummer Eve and shortest night of the year. According to popular belief, it was charged with special powers where evil forces were at work, so to keep them away, bonfires were lit on high ground, and witches placed on top. Today the evening is celebrated by dinner with family and friends, followed by a bonfire party, and the singing of Holger Drachmann's Midsommervise, or Midsummer Song.
Lucia Day (13 December): A custom of Swedish origin, Lucia Day is celebrated all over Denmark in schools, hospitals, nursing homes and day-care institutions, by a procession of girls dressed in white, singing the Santa Lucia song. They are headed by the Lucia Bride, who carries a wreath with candles.
The month of December is dominated by Christmas, when streets are decorated with fir garlands and lights. In squares and gardens Christmas trees are decorated with fairy lights, and most Danish homes light a calendar candle every day, as well as an Advent wreath on the last four Sundays before Christmas.
Major Events in Copenhagen
Copenhagen Puppet Festival/Puppet Junior (March): Aimed at adults and promoting international puppet theatre, the Copenhagen Puppet Festival is a biannual festival held in uneven years, based in Vesterbro in Copenhagen. By contrast, the Puppet Junior Festival presents Danish puppet theatre and is aimed at children and families. It takes place all over Copenhagen and is held during even years.
Copenhagen Sakura Festival (April): Annual festival and celebration of Japan, with Japanese dance, food and music, exhibitions of Japanese gardens, sumo wrestling displays, tea ceremonies, lion dances, and more.
Copenhagen Beer Festival (May): A three-day festival providing an opportunity to try existing and new products from Denmark's well-established national and international breweries.
At: Tap1, Ny Carlsbergvej 91, 1760 Copenhagen V
Copenhagen Photo Festival (June): An international platform for contemporary photography in Denmark, featuring the works of hundreds of international and contemporary photographers.
Start! Festival (June): Major music festival showcasing new and emerging talent from Denmark, located in the heart of Copenhagen at Halmtorvet in Vesterbro.
Roskilde Festival (July): Denmark's largest culture and music festival, with over 100,000 visitors each year and featuring international rock, dance and alternative bands.

Bad backlinks can trigger negative SEO and make your website invisible on search engines overnight. The knock-on effect is tarnished credibility, plummeting traffic and plunging sales. Watching for and dealing with harmful backlinks should therefore form a key part of your regular SEO housekeeping.
In 2016, Negative SEO is a real activity. With search engines policing their rankings like never before, SEOs everywhere are closely monitoring inbound links. Make a regular habit of reviewing new inbound links. Is it spam? Can it! You don't need to wait for a penalty to take action.
Have I been hit by a penalty?
It's important to establish whether your site has actually been the victim of a search engine penalty. Google uses two types of penalty. The first is a 'manual action' which appears as a notification in Google Webmaster Tools. These manual actions can be either a partial or full assignment. Partial only hits some sections on your website, full effects the entire domain. The second is an algorithmic penalty which comes with no notifications. Both can be detected by a sudden and sharp drop in traffic and visibility.
Finally, stay on trend. If you've identified a drop, check SEO news sources. There may be something industry-wide going on.
If you're certain that backlinks are the issue, the next step is to view and analyse your backlink profile. Backlink checkers such as Majestic, Moz and AHrefs offer an automated way to do this. It's wise to utilise a variety of backlink checkers as no single platform will capture all of the backlinks to your site. Google Webmaster Tools is an invaluable source, but don't forget about little old Bing. It's actually much more generous with backlink profiles and provides a much larger view of things.
Once you've collated the data, the only real way to detect bad backlinks is to manually vet each one and decide whether it looks natural or not. If you're unsure, here are some other ways of deciphering a harmful backlink.
The best way to deal with bad backlinks is the old-fashioned way: contact the original publisher and ask them to take the link down. If they don't respond, try contacting the domain hosting company. Websites such as whois.com/whois and whoishostingthis.com can help you find the relevant contact details. Alternatively, online platforms such as LinkDelete and Kerboo help to manage the entire process by analysing links and finding the best way to contact the owners of the sites they're coming from.
A final resort is to disavow links using Google's Disavowal Tool. Disavowing links means telling search engines not to include the harmful backlinks in your ranking. But proceed with caution, because doing this incorrectly can harm your site. Google recommends only disavowing links where there are a considerable number of spammy, low quality links to your site, and only if you're certain they're causing harm.
Once your backlink profile is clean, you can focus your full attention on the good stuff: building high-quality links with compelling and relevant content. Unless you suffer a targeted attack, you're unlikely to see any further bad backlinks crop up – but remember to keep an eye out and fix problems as soon as they arise.

BARRIE, Ont. — A search for explosives in a Barrie, Ont., home riddled with chemicals and potentially lethal wires inched ahead Thursday as police cleared the basement and turned their attention to a small bunker buried under the property.
Investigators began slowly combing through the fallout shelter a week after police descended on the home shared by a father and son accused in a decades-old murder case.

"They (investigators) are down there, it's a confined space (and) they're trying to do their job as carefully and fully as they can," said Barrie police Const. Angela Butler.

The bunker is divided into two rooms and stocked with food, water and clothes, she said. It's also equipped with a toilet, a ventilation system and two-way radios.
The city of Barrie approved a permit in 1984 to build the shelter, which police photos show crammed with boxes and jugs of liquid.
Butler said police have recovered unknown chemicals and 83 improvised explosive devices such as pipe bombs since they started searching the home a week ago.

But she said it's too soon to say when 57 residents evacuated from the surrounding area will be allowed to return.
The pace is being set by the investigators as they go through the hidden shelter and home's yard, she said.
"If they find something that is a concern they need to take it slowly and that will set the process back a little bit," she said, adding it's not yet known if there are explosives in the bunker.
The search began last Thursday after police arrested a father and son in connection with the 1978 slaying of Michael Traynor.
Donald Feldhoff, 54, was charged with first-degree murder after turning himself in to police. His 75-year-old father William has been charged as an accessory after the fact.
Police said last week that they anticipate laying further charges against the pair.
Police scouring the property have also found 29 firearms including rifles, shotguns and a type of submachine gun, along with thousands of rounds of ammunition.
"All will need to be looked at by investigators to determine whether they were illegal or not. The main focus is on just getting them out of that house and rendering that house safe."

Police must be sure the property is completely secure before letting nearby residents go back to their homes, Butler said, adding the community has been supportive despite the delay.
Authorities originally expected to wrap up the search within a few days but unexpected discoveries have forced them to extend the evacuation.
"The main theme and statement I hear from everybody here is 'Take your time, do not rush — we do not want your officers being hurt either, you have families too," Butler said.
The investigation will continue even after the hazardous materials have been hauled away, she said, noting officers will remain on hand to process evidence and watch over the scene.

Son of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan in custody in drugs probe
PANAJI, India – A Mumbai court sent the 23-year-old son of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan to three days' custody on Monday Oct. 4, 2021, a lawyer said, after he was arrested in a drugs investigation that has captivated India's broadcast media.
Aryan Khan was arrested on Saturday (Oct. 2) night after police raided a ship off Mumbai and found narcotics, local media said. The court remanded Khan and two others in custody with the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), the federal agency that is investigating the case.
A spokesperson for Shah Rukh Khan did not respond to requests for comment. Calls to the NCB went unanswered outside regular business hours.
"They have been accused of consumption, but there is no evidence for the same," Advait Tamhankar, a lawyer who appeared for one of the other two accused, told reporters outside the courtroom.
Television cameras showed a gaggle of reporters and police around Aryan Khan as he was ushered into a vehicle at the end of the hearing. He is scheduled to go before the court again on Oct. 7.
Many high-profile Indian actors and TV personalities have been under scrutiny from narcotics officials since last year. In September 2020, several top female actors were questioned by the NCB, though it was unclear how the investigation progressed.
Some Bollywood personalities have defended Aryan Khan and criticized the media glare around his arrest.
"The slightest misdemeanor risks being wildly exaggerated," film producer Pritish Nandy said on Twitter on Sunday (Oct. 3). "Kids make mistakes. Punish him, by all means, if the tests confirm his guilt. But let's not crucify him in the media."
